Grey Panthers 1992

By 1992 the Older Adults Group of the Darwin Dance Mob have proven themselves to be one of the most stable groups in the Community Dance program. Their weekly 1.5 hour dance class maintains and increases skill and fitness, while their many community one-off performances keeps them in the public eye.

A major work for the women was the Old Spice Club Cabaret, working with dance and dramatic material from every era the women had lived, from the 1920’s to the current day, and accompanied live by the Old Spice Club Band. Directed by Joanna Barrkman with Merrilee Mills as Musical Director.

The women also performed in the full-length community event Tracks and Clusters performing 'Under the Banyan Tree', finding that special place in the garden.

Beyond the major performance season of Old Spice Club, the women performed for 19 other community events including: Council of the Ageing (COTA), University of the Third Age (U3A), Darwin and Palmerston Bowls Clubs, Inner Wheel, local high schools, Hey Hey It’s Saturday Red Faces (Second place), Palmerston Markets, Life Be In It, Evergreens Club, Mixtures at the Mart, and their popular Christmas show at seniors homes.
